I've only used SQL Server until this latest project, and the only option is
Access. I've read some things here about how Access just isn't as good as
SQL Server, and I agree, but other than scalability, what other things
should I look out for?
Please note there this is for a church, and perhaps as many as 750 rows wil
be in the db when it's all done. I assume this will be well under the
limits of Access 2000. What othe limitations are going to be an issue?

It so happens that I am looking at a database table with 237,998
records (rows). There are also more than 80 tables in the MDB. It
works quite well. This is in A97, so you should be allright ;-)
In the link provided by Aaron pay particular attention to the link
regarding an "interestin g discussion" which is: http://www.15seconds.com/Issue/010514.htm
Which, points to ... http://www.learnasp.com/learn/rsfast-intro.asp
....and... http://www.learnasp.com/learn/rsfast-lib.asp
Happy reading <g>
IOW, Jet can probably handle more than you realize.

Hi, I'm a bit confused ... when would I rather write an database
application using MS Access and Visual Basic and when (and why) would I
rather write it using Visual Studio .Net?
Is it as easy in Visual Studio to create reports and labels as it's in
Access?`
The advantage of VS.net is that not every user needs Access, right? And
that would eliminate the Access version problem as well I guess.

I am trying to convince a client that dotNet is preferable to an Access

This client currently has a large, pure Access MDB solution with 30+ users,
which needs to be upgraded.
I believe a dotNet solution is better, but I'm trying to be as convincing as
possible -- and maybe I'm wrong!
I would appreciate any input or references which could help me.

Hi
What future does access have after the release of vs 2005/sql 2005? MS
doesn't seem to have done anything major with access lately and presumably
hoping that everyone migrates to vs/sql.
Any comments?
